Dear Chairpersons, The Namibia Football Association (NFA) family is deeply saddened by the passing of our Founding President and Founding Father of the Nation, His Excellency Dr. Sam Nujoma, on Saturday, 8th February 2025. Dr. Nujoma led the revolution that gained Namibia her independence, paving the way for our country's membership in FIFA. As a result, the Namibian football fraternity continue to enjoy international football. Therefore, the NFA hereby informs its members and referees that a minute of silence must be observed at the start of all matches across the country, including the top-tier leagues (men’s and women’s), first divisions, second divisions, third divisions, and regional women’s leagues. Please note that all matches scheduled for today will continue as planned. On behalf of the NFA, I extend our deepest condolences to the family of His Excellency Dr. Sam Nujoma, as well as to the entire nation, on the passing of this revolutionary icon. With deepest respect,

Sam Nujoma was an outstanding Namibian leader who personified more than anybody else the country’s liberation struggle history and independence. His death at the age of 95 marks the end of an era. But his legacy will live on… Since independence, the struggle for more equality continues by civil means. Tatekulu (big man) Sam Nujoma deserves credit for his role in this remarkably peaceful transition towards a multi-party democracy in which politically motivated violence rarely occurs. He will always have centre stage in Namibia’s hall of fame.

Vir 44 jaar was hy deel van my Namibiese verwysingsraamwerk. In 1976 het ek hom vir die eerste keer gesien en na sy toespraak by die VN gaan geluister het. Daarna het baie gebeure gevolg wat die Namibiese legkaart voltooi het en waarmee hy onlosmakend verbind was. Met elk van die ontmoetings wat ek met hom tydens my ampstermyn as SA se ambassadeur van 1990 tot 1992 gehad het, was hy altyd hoflik en innemend. By geleenthede daarna waar ons mekaar teegekom het, het ons gemoedelik gesels. Daar was altyd iets waaroor ons kon glimlag en nostalgies kon raak. Sy nagedagtenis is blywend. Sy nalatenskap strek oor baie dekades en dek n besonderse wye veld. Dwarsdeur die land is daar al oor hierdie tydperk op soveel erkenning aan sy leierskap gegee sodat toekomstige geslagte ook geinspireer sal word om in die najaag van lewensideale altyd te volhard. n Gebalenseerde en ewewigtige waardering van Namibie se geskiedenis oor die afgelope vyf dekades sal mank gaan as daar nie voldoende erkenning aan sy bydrae op soveel terreine gegee word nie.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Sam Nujoma, Namibia's independence leader and founding president. His unwavering commitment, sheer grit, and tenacity of purpose freed his nation from the grip of apartheid and colonial rule, leading it to a hard fought and long overdue independence in 1990. He has rightfully earned his place among Africa's most consequential nation-builders.
